Cian O’Connor has continued his winning run by taking victory in today’s 1m45 speed class at the five-star show at Treffen in Austria.

O’Connor and the 12-year-old stallion Copain du Perchet CH (pictured above) produced a winning time of 65.17 seconds in a competition that attracted a massive 73 starters.

Speaking afterwards, the London Olympic bronze medalist said:

“I’m so happy to have been able to take part in this wonderful event for the first time. It’s great to have dealt with the first test so quickly, because that creates a great impetus for the weekend. In the Grand Prix on Sunday I won’t be riding this horse. For now I’m hoping that this weekend will carry on as well as it began.”
